Per the Listing: "Steps away from Chateau Marmont and just off Sunset Strip, the Andalusia: One of the finest examples of Spanish courtyard buildings in LA. On the Historic Register and the Mills Act with low property taxes. Built by the Zwebells in 1926, this famous celebrity enclave was once home to Marlon Brando, Clara Bow, Caesar Romero, Louis L'Amour, & many more. This newly renovated 1 Bed 1 Bath home has beautiful period details w/ beamed ceilings, a traditional "Beehive" fireplace, elegant tile work, period light fixtures & beautifully restored hardwood floors. The flexible and spacious 766 sq ft floor plan w/ large windows overlook a lush cloistered garden w/ 2 original tile fountains inspired by the Alhambra in Spain. Spacious master suite has restored hardwood floors and a walk-in closet. Kitchen with period tiles and lighting, just updated w/ new stainless fridge and dishwasher; and Viking range. New HVAC system is in process of being installed. Building has been updated w/ copper plumbing & electric."

It's only been 10 weeks since this ground-floor unit last traded hands for $640,000. And in that scant time, its HOA dues also got bumped up from $300 to $330 a month, two bits of information no doubt rather off-putting to some current prospective buyers. Not to mention that 766-square-foot factor, the Lilliputian kitchen, etc. But on the other hand, what a building! Plus you've got a perfect excuse to turn down unwelcome requests to host out-of-town visitors.

What one thinks of as LA living. Movie stars, big cars and the Andalusia. Kitchen is non-existent but then you'll be out at Chasen's, Jimmy's or La Boheme every night for dinner anyway.

Brings back so many wonderful memories of our golden 'California period' (1976-2000)

So, what brought you and the Pep-Meister to Barcelona anyway? Can't you return to the states? Are you a fugitive? Seems like you miss the LA basin. Life's short and getting shorter. Be where you're happy.

We dreamed all our life of living among ancient European cathedrals, monasteries and convents - and now we are doing it!

Our days of stardom are over and therefore LA is over.

Simple as that and we must accept it.
